Hi All,
I just got back from a 4 day ride--We went 97, 90, 92, and 50 miles--a lot of which were very hilly on day 2 and 3--anyway, my question lies in the fact that during day 2, 3, and 4 I started having some achilles tendon pain in my left foot. I've had tendonitis there before, about a year and 1/2 ago (although can't remember if it's the same foot-I'm assuming it is) which is why I've given up runining, but never had any pain while riding...Any ideas about where it might have come from? I have done a decent amount of riding this year to train for this ride, but mostly 35-60 mile range. This is the first time this year I've road over 60 miles...Any suggetions about what might be causing this would really be helpful, so that I can correct any technique issues before I ride long distances again and aggravate it even more! Right now I can barely walk :( Although I had a great ride for a great cause!!
